How to Make a GIF from Images (Free Online)
A series of images becomes a story when you animate them — a before-and-after, a step-by-step, a slideshow. The GIF Maker combines your images into a single animated GIF in your browser, with control over speed and size and no watermark.
Great uses for an image GIF
Step-by-step tutorials, before/after comparisons, product spins, slideshows and reaction sequences all work beautifully as GIFs because they autoplay and loop everywhere. The order you add the images is the order they animate, so arrange them with that in mind.
How to make a GIF from images
- Open the GIF Maker and add your images — they animate in the order added. 2. Set the speed (frames per second) and the output width. 3. Create the GIF and download it. Everything runs locally, so your images stay private.
Controlling size and smoothness
Fewer frames and a smaller width mean a smaller file. For a slideshow, a low frame rate (1-2 fps) holds each image longer; for smooth motion, use a higher rate. To turn a video clip into a GIF instead, use the Video to GIF tool.
